Tips to Secure your Beach House

Beach House

Vacation homes are great to own, and if it’s a beach house, every vacation becomes a dream come true. While owning a beach house is a pride, protecting it from burglaries and other unwanted breaches is equally important. For one, beach houses are located at thinly populated areas, so footfalls are minimal and the risk of burglary, more. Here are some handy tips to keep your beach house secure.

Put up a security system in place, with fencing alarms, door alarms and also window alarms. An empty house is an open invite to thieves. Know that burglars make a move when the house is empty and not just during night time. An empty house even during the day is a potential target. With very little moving population, beach houses are more vulnerable to such threats. Ensure you switch on the security systems, even while stepping out for just a while. Intruder alert systems have become sophisticated, so keep your beach house security system upgraded at regular intervals. Beach houses come with well-equipped garage that often provide a door-way into the house. Be sure to lock up the garage as well.

Another effective way to keep intruders at bay is your pet Labrador. While a big one can definitely scare off the intruder, a small breed can alert the owners. Just posting a warning sign is good enough to keep intruders away. Make sure the sign is prominent, announcing a potential danger to anyone trying to pry into your beach house.

Though far and few, a friendly neighborhood is in itself a great security to your beach house. Occupants of beach houses come for vacations or post-retirement settlements. Alert a neighbor, when you are moving out of your beach house for a vacation. Join hands and form a neighborhood watch, which has so far proved to be the most effective way of securing houses.

Most beach houses also sport a garden and backyard. Please make sure to trim the bushes and hedges. Cut-out tree branches that extend up to windows of your beach house. Make sure you never leave any dark corners or extending branches that could become a potential hiding place for intruders.

An overflowing mailbox and a week’s newspapers lying strewn around are a welcome sight for thieves. Put your newspaper deliveries and mails on hold, and you can even set variable timers for various lights to give the appearance that someone is at home all the time. Clever lighting and motion sensors are a sure shot of way to protect your most expensive possession – your home.
